When it play in Winamp, it product very anoying noise along with music, my hear is hurt (yeah, that's true...it's very anoying @ high frequency and high pitch,and I got headache :angry: :angry: ) ...

Why do you feed Speex with music then, i don't get it. It's not meant for encoding music.See Can I use Speex for compressing music?.... and if you get such a message like 'Speex is only optimized for 8, 16 and 32 kHz' you shouldn't be too suprised that it sounds like a vulture practice the violin, especially when you feed Speex with music.

I listened to your file and actually I'm suprised that it wasn't worse. First, as quellcore notes, Speex is NOT designed for music, but for speech. Second, the VBR mode is even less adapted to music. Third, you were encoding at a non-recomended bit-rate (while music is mainly 44.1 kHz, speech is mostly 8 kHz and 16 kHz). Forth, the ultra-wideband (>32 kHz) is an approximation that's only valid for voice.

yeah, that's right . I feed it with music

How stupid I am

I IIRC someone with Canada Flag (maybe Speex dev ??) say(in here) that I don't thinks Speex is that bad with music when a members complaint about Speex ? That's why i give speex a try =/

But I just can't find that post right now, it gave me a bunch of result (5 pages :'(

Well it's not *that* bad (compared to other speech codecs) when you use the "right" options for encoding music. You may want to down-sample to 16 kHz and use speexenc --quality 10 --comp 6 file.wav file.spx(as I said, VBR is terrible for music and so is 44.1 kHz - 32 kHz may be OK, but maybe not)

Edit: Speex has reached version 1.0.2 by now - maybe it's time to update?Edit2: Read the rules, you make no sense, and I think as a new member you should read around a little bit before you go posting again.....motherland? BAH!
